Thank you so much for your encouragement. I really want to lose the weight, but you hit it right on the head...mostly, I want to like myself and love myself. I always feel that if I can do that first, then I'll respect my body more and I will be able to lose the weight a lot easier. Problem is, every time I try to be positive and like myself, I jump back into my old habits of mean thoughts and ugly words. Right now I am in the middle of some family issues - I'm not sure if you have read my blog at www.worldinsidemyhead.com - but now is the perfect time for me to get back in the swing of things. I tend to forget about myself and focus on everyone else. But how can I take care of everyone else if I can't take care of myself? Thank you so much for your message. I keep telling myself to get back on the internet and my blog and get back into the swing of things and this is a good start.
I have dealt with not accepting myself for a long time and now it's my passion to share with others the things I have learned about how to find true self acceptance and love. I wish you the best as you work towards losing weight and finding self esteem. I know first hand that it's hard to get to a place where you REALLY accept yourself, but with a lot of work on your mindsets, you can get there.
